I found a poultry recipe for brining on Pinterest and I started to make it. It calls for 3/4 C Kosher & sugar then it says to dissolve in 1 cup of boiling water. Well it won't dissolve!! What should I do?

This is my first attempt at smoking. I'm smoking a whole chicken and some boneless country syle ribs.

you might not have your ratio of water to solids is not correct, both salt and sugar go to solution I believe so if after mixing you still have solids you might add more liquid . you might refer to Pop's brine, very proven, it is a great correct mix and works every time. the link is below

THANK YOU!!

You have to add more water,1 cup of water will not cover a chicken thigh.
